BUTTONHOLE-FACING.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID FOLCKI, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at Memphis, Shelby county, and State of Tennessee, have invented and discovered certain new and useful Improvements in Buttonholeliacings, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to bnttonhole facings and its object is to provide means whereby a protective and ornamental border for the buttonhole may be provided and which is of such a character that it may be secured to the edge of the buttonhole while the latter is being worked With this end and others in view, my invention is embodied in preferable form in the article hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In these drawings, Figure l is a plan view of a buttonhole provided with my improved facing; Fig. 2, a view similar to Fig. l, showing the end of the facing cord, the binding thread and the fastening thread,

se arated' Fie'. 3 a cross section on the line 3-3 of Fig. l.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is a facing, formed preferably of a twisted, multiplestrand cord or braid or similar non-elastic material. A. binding thread or threads 2 of the usual construction and arrangement, is adapted to extend parallel to the edges of the buttonhole.

provided and the binding thread and facing are sewed to the edge of the fabric by means of the latter thread, by stitching the fastening thread over the binder and over the portion of the facing that is immediately adjacent to the fabric. rlhe binding threads are placed next to the fabric and the facing which is made of greater diameter than the binding is placed over it, so as to effectually conceal and protect the latter. The facing also serves to cover up the attaching threads and to provide a protective and ornamental covering for the edge of the buttonhole.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is,

A buttonhole facing comprising a nonelastic strip of material extending parallel t0 the edge of the buttonhole in combination with a binding thread and an attaching thread, the latter engaging and attaching both binding thread and said strip of material and both binding and attaching threads being covered and protected by the facing, substantially as described.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Memphis Tennessee this 18 day of January, A. D. nineteen hundred and thirteen.
